Video Games: 18 Hours Boss Fight

I'm laughing so hard from this article I read. It's basically about a group of gamers spending almost a day attempting to defeat a boss in the online role-playing Final Fantasy XI game. The boss named Pandemonium Warden took the combined effort of 38 gamers (which later dropped to 27 because a few had passed out...lol) and 18 hours straight...to fail to take its life. That's about 684 man-hours(38*18 = 684) wasted to a flawed game design. This is almost equivalent to being stuck in an infinite loop. Anyways, read the article and humour yourself.
